It began with the donation to fund the building of Hope Primary School in 2008, and was followed by the establishment of TAL Public Welfare Foundation in 2013. TAL also brought its “One Class” project to eight rural primary schools in Sichuan and Gansu. The project utilizes live broadcasting technology and TAL’s "dual-teacher” method. For regions with limited resources, Hope Online Public Education Platform was launched in 2017 to provide quality online courses and teaching products via a live learning platform. TAL is constantly engaging in the pursuit and practice of philanthropy projects.
